More inspections against illegal holiday rentals: Is money alone enough?

Answer

Will Mallorca's extra spending on holiday rental inspections actually reduce illegal rentals?

The extra budget should help, but money alone will not solve the problem. Success depends on faster procedures, better data sharing between authorities, and inspections that lead to sanctions quickly enough to matter. Without that, illegal listings can simply disappear and reappear under new accounts.
